DQ

By Jade Alexander and Ben Harris

If you needed an excuse to grab a Blizzard today, this might be the sweetest one yet.

Thursday, July 30 is Dairy Queen’s annual Miracle Treat Day, and participating DQ locations across South Florida will donate $1 or more from every Blizzard Treat sold to benefit Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, South Florida’s Children’s Miracle Network hospital.

The hospital serves families throughout Miami-Dade, Broward, Monroe, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Okeechobee and Indian River counties.
